19,20-Didehydro-13,14-dihydro-PG2 amides

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides novel 19,20-didehydro-13,14-dihydro-PG 2  amides, methods for their preparation and pharmacological use for the induction of prostaglandin-like effect.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a division of Ser. No. 026,066, filed Apr. 2,1979, now pending issuance as a United States Patent.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel prostaglandin analogs.Particularly, these compounds are analogs of the prostaglandins whereinthe C-20-C-19 position is unsaturated, i.e., 19,20-didehydro-PGcompounds. Most particularly, the present invention relates to novel19,20-didehydro-13,14-dihydro-PG₂ amides, a disclosure of thepreparation and use of which is incorporated here by reference from U.S.Pat. No. 4,228,104.

PRIOR ART

Prostaglandin analogs exhibiting unsaturation in the C-17, C-18, or C-20position are known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,919,285German Offenlegungsschrift 2,635,985 (and its corresponding DerwentFarmdoc CPI No. 10302A), and U.S. Pat. No. 4,064,351 for examples ofsuch compounds. See also the references cited in U.S. Ser. No. 026,066.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention particularly provides:

A compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein D is (1) cis--CH═CH--CH₂--(CH₂)_(g) --CH₂ --,

(2) cis--CH═CH--CH₂ --(CH₂)_(g) --CF₂ --,

(3) cis--CH₂ --CH═CH--CH₂ --CH₂ --,

(4) trans--(CH₂)₃ --CH═CH--,

wherein Q is ##STR2## wherein R₅ is hydrogen or methyl, wherein R₇ andR₈ are hydrogen, alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive, benzyl, orphenyl, being the same or different.

wherein R₂ is hydrogen, hydroxyl, or hydroxymethyl;

wherein R₃ and R₄ are hydrogen, methyl, or fluoro, being the same ordifferent, with the proviso that one of R₃ and R₄ is fluoro only whenthe other is hydrogen or fluoro;

wherein W is ##STR3## and wherein X is --CH₂ CH₂ --.

The compounds of the present invention are particularly useful forinducing prostaglandin-like biological effects, as is described in U.S.Ser. No. 026,066. Uses of compounds in accordance with the presentinvention include, therefore, anti-asthmatic indication.

I claim:
 1. A compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein D is (1) cis--CH═CH--CH₂ --(CH₂)_(g) --CH₂ --, (2) cis--CH═CH--CH₂ --(CH₂)_(g) --CF₂ --,(3) cis--CH₂ --CH═CH--CH₂ --CH₂ --, (4) trans--(CH₂)₃ --CH═CH--,wherein Q is ##STR5## wherein R₅ is hydrogen or methyl, wherein R₇ and R₈ are hydrogen, alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive, benzyl, or phenyl, being the same or different; wherein R₂ is hydrogen, hydroxyl, or hydroxymethyl; wherein R₃ and R₄ are hydrogen, methyl, or fluoro, being the same or different, with the proviso that one of R₃ and R₄ is fluoro only when the other is hydrogen or fluoro; wherein W is ##STR6## and wherein X is --CH₂ CH₂ --.
